Schnapps tasting at the Liebl specialty distillery

Distillery Liebl

A family business from the very beginning!

The family business originated from a small grocery store run by grandmother Maria Liebl in the lower Marktstraße in Kötzting. After the difficult war years, the current premises on Jahnstraße were acquired. Grandfather Ferdinand and son Gerhard (business owner Gerhard Liebl Sr.) built up a wine and spirits wholesale business, buying wine and spirits as open goods and bottling and selling them under their own name.

The production of their own spirits specialties began. Bärwurz, Böhmischer Wind, Höllensteiner and Latschenwacholder were our first own products at that time.

Our business was expanded with the addition of a modern distillery.

A new storage and bottling hall was built and the store and tasting room were completely rebuilt and extended.
